Anyone else tired of press conferences and soggy croissants? Here's a mega-gallery of action from the 2010 Silk Way Rally, the precursor to The Dakar that runs 3,000 miles across Russia from St. Petersberg to The Black Sea. Nostrovia!

The Dakar is on its eighth day of its second year in South America. It's simultaneously the most interesting race in the world, yet the hardest to cover. Luckily, we've got an amazing set of images straight from Argentina.
